Patent GB-190013314-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with the Preservation of Meats.
Inventor: BRIGHT FREDERICK WILLIAM
Filed: 1900-07-24
Granted: 1900-10-27
Abstract: 13,314. Bright, F. W. July 24. Preserving meat.-Relates to the preparation of canned meats. The Figures show diagrammatic representations of the apparatus employed. The cans, after filling, are sealed in vacuo in suitable appliances 1<a>, 2<a>, 3<a>, 4<a>, and are delivered down chutes 7 on to a travelling band 8 provided with partitions 10 and side walls 15 to keep the cans from the different appliances separate. The band 8 delivers the cans to an elevator 12, also provided with partitions, which delivers them into chutes 16, 17, 18, 19. The chute 17 deposits the cans fed into it directly on a basket and chain conveyer 13, Fig. 6, which carries them through a bath 2 of hot tallow or other slowly-volatilizable material, which is heated by steam pipes, and, as the baskets are raised and finally inverted at the other end, deposits them upon a travelling band 26. The cans passing down the chutes 16, 18, 19 are delivered on to special parts of a conveyer 20 formed with partitions 21, by which they are conveyed laterally until opposite conveyers 13, one for each of the appliances 1<a>, 2<a>, 3<a>, 4<a>, when they are diverted by inclined surfaces and fall into the conveyers 13, which carry them through baths 1, 3, 4 similar to the bath 2, and deliver them to the conveyer 26. The speed of the conveyers can be adjusted independently. The conveyer 26 deposits the cans from all the tallow baths in the baskets of a conveyer, which leads them in succession through heated baths consisting of strong carbonate of soda solution, weak carbonate of soda solution, and hot water, where the cans are cleaned. The cans next pass along a belt 27 down a chute 28 to a cooling-arrangement shown separately in Fig. 4, the cans falling into pivoted containers carried by a chain which carries them first through a tank 32 containing water, which is collected from a spray 34 by a pan 36 and delivered into the end of the tank 32. The cans next pass upwards over a pulley, and back under the spray 34 to a belt 31, where the containers are inverted by a cam so as to deposit the cans on the belt 31, which delivers them down a chute 37 on to a sorting-table 38.

Granted: 1900-12-22
Abstract: 18,187. Christ, F. J. Oct. 12. Driving-mechanism.- Egg beaters, stirrers, and s i m i l a r appliances are worked by the pressure of the thumb and finger, springs effecting the return strokes. Figs. 2, 3, and 5 show examples of the arrangement. 0 n pressing the rack h, the pinion f and crown-wheel g are rotated along with the pinion b upon the spindle of the stirrer q. The return stroke is brought about by the extension of the spring l. A handle. is represented at p. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, on pressing together the levers m, rotary motion is communicated to the stirrer through the toothed sectors n. When the mechanism is enclosed, the stirrer takes the form shown in Fig. 5, the essential devices being, however, substantially the same.
Patent GB-190100274-A (GB)
Title: The Manufacture of Ortho Oxycarboxylic Acids.
Inventor: ZIMMERMANN AUGUST
Filed: 1901-01-04
Granted: 1901-12-21
Abstract: 274. Zimmermann, A., [Chemische Fabrik auf Actien vorm. E. Schering]. Jan. 4. o-Oxycarboxylic acids are produced by acting upon a mixture of an alkaline salt of a phenol, and an alkaline sulphite with carbonic acid in the known manner, whereby oxidation and colouring of the phenolate are reduced to a minimum, and then liberating the acids from the melts in the usual manner. By this process salicylic acid, o- and p-cresotic acids and alpha- and #-oxynaphthoic acids are produced, and it is stated that greater purity and a better yield are obtained than by the processes previously in use. The mixture required may be prepared by evaporating to dryness a phenol, caustic alkali lye and a solution of an alkaline sulphite, or by mixing the dry salts; or the melt obtained by passing an alkaline sulphonate, for example, sodium benzene-, toluene-, or naphthalenesulphonate, with a caustic alkali, may be used. In the last case, the process may be modified by extracting a portion of the sulphite present, by means of water, before acting upon the melt with carbonic acid. In most cases it is preferred to use sodium salts, but potassium salts or a mixture of potassium and sodium salts may be employed.

Title: Improvements in Brake-valves for Locomotive-engines
Inventor: HYDE GEORGE THOMAS
Filed: 1903-01-29
Granted: 1903-05-14
Abstract: 2158. Hyde, G. T., [New York Air-Brake Co.]. Jan. 29. Brakes. -Relates to drivers' brake valves in which, after the brakes have been applied, the escape of air from the train-pipe is automatically stopped by means of a cut-off valve operated by a piston subjected on one side to the train-pipe pressure and on the other side to the pressure in a small reservoir. The main pressure reservoir communicates with the space 8, the train-pipe with the cylinder 11, and the exhaust with the passage 17. The slide valve 1, under the control of the driver, is provided with openings, shown in Fig. 5, which co-operate with openings, shown in Fig. 4, in the valve seat to give the following positions, viz.:-(a) When the slide valve is in the position shown in Fig. 2, the space 8 communicates through the opening 10 and alternately through a reducing-valve 5 and passages 15, 16, with the cylinder 11 which is cut off from the passage 17 to give the ordinary running with brakes off. (b) When the slide valve is moved slightly to the right, the space 8 is cut off from the cylinder 11, which communicates through the openings 10, 20, 21, 18 with the passage 17 to give a service application of the brakes. (c) When the slide valve is moved to its extreme right-hand position, the cylinder 11 communicates with the passage 17 through the openings 10, 29, 30, 18 to give an emergency application. In the cylinder 11 slides a piston 12 of which the righthand side communicates through the pipe 26 with a small reservoir, so that, when the brakes are applied, the excess of pressure in the small reservoir over the pressure in the cylinder forces the piston 12 to the left and, by means of the pivoted lever 24, moves the cut-off valve 22 over the opening 20. The pressures on the two sides of the piston are finally equalized by means of a valve 37, which allows fluid to flow from the left-hand side of the piston to the right. In order to bring the piston back to its right-hand position ready for another application of the brakes, a passage in the slide valve places the port 32 of the pipe 31 in communication with the passage 17, whereby the pressure on the right-hand side of the piston is reduced. The passage 31 is finally closed by a spring valve 33 carried on the extreme right-hand part of the piston. In modifications, the valve 37 may be replaced either by a valve in a pipe outside the cylinder 11, or by a packing-ring 42, Fig. 9, pressed outwardly by a spring 44, and in the latter case a metallic packing-ring 45, around which is a short passage 46 in the cylinder, may be employed.
